The Bandai RX-78 Gundam has two slots where you can plug in a ROM cart or an additional device, like a
printer interface. The system was capable of loading software from these ROM carts, or from a cassette
tape through audio line-in ports to use with tape recorders; these ports were present in the BS Basic,
Animation Graphics, Creative Graphics, Japanese Word Processor and Z80 Assembler carts. The system could
use up to two carts or devices at the same time.
There were a total of 20 games released for the system, plus educational and productivity software, and peripheral
devices. One additional game and three expansion cards were announced but never released. The official translations
printed in the game carts or tapes are used below where available. Names in brackets are unofficial translations.

* Sekigahara did not include an overlay, instead it included a reference sheet with game information.
** Donjara, a version of Mahjong for kids, found in an auction, is completely undocumented and is not mentioned in
any RX-78 game lists on the internet.
The Battery Backup RAM, Music Interface and Floppy Disk Drive expansion were listed as being in development (企画中) in
a product catalog, but were apparently never released.
Photos of キム・キム・ダン・ダン (Kim Kim Dan Dan) are also shown in that same catalog, but the game was never released on the
RX-78. A version of the game was released for the Mitsubishi Multi-8.

The RX-78 will look for 01 at address 2000. If found, a jump is made to that address.
If not found, it will check address 6000 in the same way. If still not found, then the monitor program is entered.
The monitor will expect you to load a program from cassette.
